Start Your Own Blog In 3 Easy Steps
By Michael Fleischner | Marketing Expert, Internet Marketing Secrets*
Blogging is a
great way to reach your audience, share your thoughts, and even help
you with your Internet marketing. I’ve been blogging for nearly 3 years
and continue to enjoy the benefits of not only communicating with an
audience, but engaging in meaningful dialog. Starting a blog is easy to
do and pays huge dividends.
There are a
number of free services available that offer free blog services. Sites
like Blogger and WordPress only require a brief registration and set up.
Once you determine a theme for your blog and a template, you’re ready
to begin posting. Posts are entries you make on your blog that are
published instantly.
Some
bloggers post comments to their blog each and every day, others once a
week. Regardless of how frequently you post to your blog, content can be
focused on a specific theme or random topics. The most popular blogs
focus on a specific niche and provide valuable information, content, and
commentary that encourage interaction with blog followers.
Sign up for a
blog service. Begin development of your blog by signing up for Blogger
or WordPress. Once you have an account, you can quickly set up your
blog. Consider the goal of your blog and what type of commitment you are
willing to make. Start small and be consistent.
Determine
how you will monetize your blog. If you want to use your blog to
generate revenue, there are a few techniques you can apply depending on
which platform you’re using. One of the most popular methods of
monetizing your blog is with the help of Google Adsense. This is a
popular option and very easy to add to your blog. Not only does it
generate a small amount of revenue for you on a weekly basis, but it
also provides relevant links based on your posts.
Another
great way to monetize your blog is through paid links. The concept of
offering paid links is pretty straight forward. You create a section of
you blog that lists recommended sites. In this list, you only place
links that people have paid you to post. There are some tools you can
use to automate this process. I simply add a link to a post that says,
“How to post your link” with directions and a pass through to a Paypal
page. You can set up a single time payment or subscription, allowing
would be advertisers the opportunity to purchase a link on your blog
monthly or for a longer period of time.
Many
individuals are monetizing their blogs by using pay per post or other
blogging network. Essentially, advertisers search for bloggers who are
willing to write a post to promote their product and services or brand.
You can sign up for one of these networks quite easily and be contacted
when advertisers feel that your blog would be ideal for distributing a
message. You write a blog post and get paid for doing so.
One thing to
keep in mind is that the success of you blog is based on a number of
factors. I believe that having a targeted blog that offers original
content is ideal. You will build a large following. This is essential
because most of the monetization methods are based on having enough
traffic to make your blog appealing to advertisers as well as blog
readers.
Maximize Your AdSense Earning Potential
Six Strategies to maximize your AdSense earning potential
As an
AdSense publisher you may like to take some strategies to maximize your
AdSense earning potential. Here you can review 6 easy ways to become
sure you are getting the most out of AdSense:
1. Just focus on location: in case you do not pay attention to the location of your AdSense ads to place your campaign properly, you probably leave money where it is. Generally, ads should be placed as close as possible to your main content.
While
this seems like a common sense observation, one of the biggest
challenges to effective ad placement is conflict with design. While a
728x90 leader-board at the top of a page or a 300x250 rectangle ad unit
on a sidebar might fit well into a design, in my experience these
placements are generally better suited to display ads because they are
often not close enough to content to produce an optimal level of clicks.
Google offers some useful guidelines for AdSense placements that all publishers should heed.
2. Use section targeting: your
website's pages almost certainly contain content that isn't really
useful for AdSense targeting -- headers, footers, sidebars, etc. While
Google's contextual targeting technology usually does a good job at
picking out the most relevant content on your pages, you can assist
Google by suggesting the portions of your content that Google should pay
the most attention to through the use of section targeting tags.
To
emphasize content, add and before and after content that you want
Google to pay the most attention to. You can also tell Google to ignore a
block of content by using as a start tag.
With
section targeting, you may be able to produce incremental improvements
in the contextual relevancy of the ads that your users see and that can
generate more clicks.
3. Pick the right unit size: a
blog I help run nearly doubled its AdSense revenue when the ad units
that appear in the middle of post content were switched from the
standard 468x60 banners to 300x250 rectangles. To find out which unit
sizes produce the best results, there's no substitute for a little
experimentation. A/B testing is a great way to do this.
4. Apply the right colors: in
my experience, non-negligible increases in clicks can be realized by
choosing the right colors for your AdSense units. In general, choosing
the right colors means using the background and link colors that are
used with your non-ad content. Again, A/B testing can be useful for
optimization in this area.
5. Try AdSense for feeds:
if you have an RSS feed, AdSense for feeds can be a great way to
develop an additional AdSense revenue stream. In general, I have always
found that eCPMs for AdSense for feeds is higher than the eCPMs for
websites so if you have a lot of RSS subscribers, it can be especially
valuable.
6. Add a search box: chances are you could use search functionality on your site. If that's the case and you don't need a complex solution, consider using the search box functionality Google offers with AdSense. Not only is this an easy way to implement search functionality, it provides an additional means to generate AdSense revenue.
Content and Sections for a Business Website You Need to Develop
In this article I will tell you how to build a website to start a
business without spending too much money. I will also tell you about the
content that each website for business should have. In particular:
- what sections you have to have on your website,
- which add-ons will get you loyal and returning visitors
- and what free tools you should use to monitor your website
If you already have a website, take a look at this article and check if you're not missing any essential and key parts.
If you don't have a website yet, this knowledge will be important for
making the first overviews, sketches and wireframes - a lot of this
content turns out to be necessary after the page is done, which is
harder to do and is more expensive.
How should a website for business look?
Make sure that the textual content of each page of your website is
visible without scrolling the page down (this is called what's "above
the fold").
The navigation menu should be noticeable right away. It is best to place it next to the name of the company.
If possible, use short sentences and paragraphs, headings and lists. Long text discourages, no matter of its value.
What sections should be available on a business website?
If the business has regular
information that can be interesting for visitors (like new products, but
NOT that you hire a new employee), it should be placed on the main page
or in a separate Newsletter section. If you don't have regular news, just omit this section.
In the Contact section, publish
the following: the full name of the business, its postal address,
telephone number, e-mail address, fax number, tax number (and
country-specific registration numbers to increase credibility), the
banking account number (with the full name and address of the bank and
its SWIFT code - required for international transfers), opening hours
(including weekends) and a map with a marked location of your company
(use Google Maps).
Some photos from the surrounding area and the building itself may come
in handy for the visitors. The Contact section should also have a
contact form. People are more likely to fill it out rather than opening
an e-mail client to send a message. Keep the number of fields to a
minimum - most of the time a "How can we reach you?" and "Message" field
will do.
You will save a lot of time by making a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
section with answers to repeatedly asked inquiries. Put a link to this
FAQ (or even the questions themselves as links) in the Contact section.
If you still receive questions that have not been already answered, just
add then regularly to this page.
Your website will be found only, if it has relevant textual content,
that the search engines (like Google) may browse and index. Therefore,
you need to have an Articles section,
in which you should put at least a dozen pages with content related to
your market and products. It is best to have an automated system (called
Content Management System - CMS in short) that will be configured so
that the beginning sentences of a handful of the newest articles will be
posted on the main page of the company's website. I have found that
posting articles in their own section without them going through the
main page is a lot less beneficial in terms of search engine rankings
and incoming traffic. If you don't have the time to write articles
yourself, leave that to an employee or find a freelancer on Elance, Odesk or Fiverr.
A business website should also have an About us page (you can put that content on the main page if you don't have news there). Start by stating the Company's mission: what problems do you solve, why the existing solutions are worse, what do you bring into the market, and which services you provide.
After that, type the usual information: founding dates, what the
company exactly does, who do you work with, who are your customers (post
examples).
Publish examples of completed work in a Portfolio.
Include photos (and videos, if possible and of good quality) with a
clear description, what is visible, what were the challenges, what has
been done to achieve this result, which technologies were used, for who
and for what purpose it was made. If possible, post testimonials and
contact information to review them.
Finally, publish a Pricing section
with at least estimate ranges for common tasks. You will save both your
time and that of the visitor's by avoiding long agreement talks, after
which it comes out that the price range is unacceptable for one of the
parties. You can also post examples of completed tasks with their final
prices.
How to get returning visitors to your website?
First of all, you have to frequently (on average - two times per week)
publish new content on the website (usually in the News or Articles
section).
That aside, it is absolutely crucial to add an e-mail mailing list,
which is basically a form with the Name and E-mail fields. The visitor
can type his contact information and thus subscribe to get the latest
news and offers from you via e-mail.
This way you get a constant and personalized way to reach your visitors -
you will mail them directly and use their name to increase attention!
An example of this can be found beneath this article - if you sign up
for my mailing list, you will not also get updates, but also key tips
for website owners. As for using a mailing list service provider, I
recommend Aweber.
Remember - most of the people who visit your site will not come back.
That's why you need to get their e-mail addresses and keep them engaged
by sending regular updates and tips.
How to monitor traffic on your company's website?
You can without any effort (and for free!) check, how many visitors your
website has had, which other sites did they visit that directed them to
you, what did they type into a search engine (like Google) to find you
and so on. Website stats (often
referred to as analytic) are the most important part of your website, as
they will tell you which pages resulted in the highest conversions
(sales, sign-ups, submitted contact forms etc.) and which caused the
visitors to leave your site (you need to fix those pages as soon as
possible).
The best (and free!) stats system out there is Google Analytics. Adding them to your site shouldn't cost you much but the return will come quickly.
You should also use the free Google Webmaster Tools to
monitor any problems with viewing and indexing your website by search
engines and visitors. These so-called "Webmaster Tools" are in fact a system that notifies you of any problem with your website,
plus some more statistics. Adding it to your website is so easy, that
it should be done within the Google Analytics installation price.
Checking your website from the technical standpoint
The last, but not the least important thing is for your business website to
be of high quality technically (referred to as "Search Engine
Optimized" or SEO in short), which will automatically increase its
standings in search engine rankings and thus - the incoming traffic. You
can check that after the website is done instantly.
